SPECIAL FEATURES
- With the release of the highly anticipated movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Royal Canadian Mint is excited to introduce an unforgettable series of coins!
- They’re “two sides of the same coin”: Two iconic logos are cleverly combined as one to illustrate the duality and similarities between Batman and Superman.
- Frosted finishes add a contrasting element to the polygon shapes that create a stunning “shattered glass” effect; this dramatic visual symbolizes the “shattering” of what was established in the previous film, MAN OF STEEL™.
- The four-coin subscription ensures you won’t miss out on any of the coins in this set; each subscription includes a unique collector case that allows you to display these coins side by side, for all to see.
DESIGN
Established with firm Canadian roots, Superman was the first Super Hero, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICS™ pantheon. He was the inspiration for a new archetype that not only still exists today, but is more popular than ever. Many important Canadian visionaries continue to shape the DC Comics Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938.
The reverse image features the application of vibrant colour over engraving in its recreation of the famous Batman and Superman logos. In the background, carefully positioned polygon shapes are contrasted through the use of frosted finishes in order to create a stunning “shattered glass” effect; this visual element is highly symbolic, for it represents the “shattering” of what was established in MAN OF STEEL™ and the challenges that lie ahead after Superman has revealed himself to the world. Superman’s iconic red and yellow S-shield is superimposed over the black-coloured bat symbol of Gotham City’s DARK KNIGHT™; the merging of these two logos represents the idea that despite the fact that they are at odds in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the two SUPER HEROES™ are nonetheless part of the same “battle” for justice—a common purpose in spite of their different styles.
